Oblivion Notes

I'll have more on Oblivion for you later today, but here are a few quick notes. First, Francis Cermak sent me a link to a very useful tweaking FAQ. It also includes a link to a mod that will remove the "area loading" screen, which was driving me crazy. It also has a thorough section on performance tweaking. Here's the link:http://ideveloper.pandora-studios.com/files/OblivionSettingsGuide.txt.

There's another mod that I installed last night that might be interesting to you. It's the "hunter" mod, and here's a description from the readme:WHAT IT ALTERS:------------------------------------------------------------------*Added 1 extra piece of meat to the inventory of Deer creatures and Boarcreatures.*Created new meat types with full alchemy properties. Wolf Meat, Lion Meat & Bear Meat.(similar properties to other meat types)*Created new animal hide items and increased the value of existing hides. Increase in values based on the creatures level. New hides include: Deer Skin, Brown Bear Skin, Black Bear Skin & Timber Wolf Pelt.*Created new Deer Antler item that only drops on male deer corpses. Sells for 15 Gold.It's a small but very enjoyable mod, and here's a link to the forum thread:http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=301008. Also, here's a download link:http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1889.
